Topic: Finding a Mentor (Read 230 times)

If you're trekking through the jungles of Borneo, would you go it alone, or would you prefer to use a guide: someone who has been there before, has learned which animals are dangerous, and knows how to get where you're going? Having a guide for your jungle adventure is much like having a mentor in your career.

A mentor is someone who's been where you are now, who's journeyed close to where you want to be, and who's made his or her own mistakes. Equally, someone who is willing to impart the wisdom of experience, and so help you avoid the same pitfalls. With this type of advice and guidance you will be that much more likely to reach your career and/or personal goals.
